Kate Nash

I was watching an episode of Grey's Anatomy last night and heard a song in the background which immediately appealed to me. But I didn't know who this girl was that was singing about "cheese on toast" in a distinct London accent. A google on "lyrics cheese on toast" later, I discovered Kate Nash. She is often compared to Lily Allen which is not surprising as they are of similar age and background and both sing somewhat sarcastically about stale relationships, nostalgia and London life. Musically they are quite different though as Nash has a more acoustic, singer-songwriter feel than the extensively-produced Allen.

Of course, knowing my track record on 'discovering' new artists to share with my friends, you probably all heard of Kate Nash months ago already
